You will need a laptop that has a wireless card in it, all current Tela laptops are suitable.

Windows
On Windows laptops, you will need to make sure that the wireless card is turned on, there may be a small switch on the case of your laptop that needs to be slid to the on position.

Your laptop needs to be set up so that the wireless interface will look for a DHCP server to provide it with the IP addresses it needs for the ULearn network. If you are unsure how to tell if this is the case then visit this page to look at the help sheet. Please make sure that you write down what your current settings are so you can put them back for when you return to school.

The ULearn network does not have a proxy server that you need to authenticate to so you need to have proxies turned off for ULearn. If you are unsure how to tell if this is the case then visit this page to look at the help sheet. Please make sure you write down any proxy settings so you can put them back for when you return to school.

Macintosh
There should be an Airport (wireless) menu near the right-hand side of your laptops menu bar. It looks like a fan shape with four bars that indicate signal strength by changing colour between black and grey. Click on the Airport icon and make sure that the Airport is turned on.
